How it works
How SquareCell stores and dispenses fluid without a pump
SquareCell combines a pressurized, baffled inner tank, an inert gas blanket, and a double-walled outer housing. Together they replace the pump, the vent, and the spill berm.
A compressed gas cartridge pressurizes a sealed, inert-gas-blanketed inner tank, which pushes product out at up to 100 GPM with no pump or power, while the outer wall provides 110% secondary containment.
1. Product is stored under an inert gas blanket
Conventional tanks breathe. As temperatures change, they pull in outside air and push out vapors, and with that air comes moisture, dust, and contaminants. SquareCell does not vent to the atmosphere. Product is stored under a blanket of inert gas, which:
- Virtually eliminates escaping vent gases, reducing emissions from hazardous liquids
- Blocks contaminant intrusion
- Reduces contamination, evaporation, and condensation, so product quality holds from storage through dispensing
2. A gas cartridge pressurizes the container
A compressed gas cartridge provides the pressure that moves product. Because there is no electric pump, SquareCell needs no outside power source. That makes it practical in remote or difficult environments: an early-stage jobsite, a lease road, a field edge, or a site where the grid is down.
3. Internal baffles steady the fluid
Internal baffles divide the inner tank and limit fluid surge. That matters when a partly full unit is moving on a trailer and while product is dispensing. The baffled design is the core of US Patent 10,745,191 B2, “Baffled fluid container assembly.”
4. Pressurized dispensing and vacuum loading
Open the valve and product flows at up to 100 gallons per minute. Pressurized unloading eliminates the need for conventional pumps, and vacuum loading clears tanks and lines efficiently, while preserving product integrity throughout the process.
5. The outer wall is the spill berm
SquareCell is fully enclosed and double-walled, with a removable inner tank. The outer wall holds 110% of the inner tank's capacity, so a leak stays inside the unit instead of reaching soil, water, or wildlife. The enclosure is weatherproof, keeping rain and debris out of the product and the hardware.

Questions about how it works
How does SquareCell dispense fluid without a pump?
A compressed gas cartridge pressurizes the container and pushes product out through the dispensing line at up to 100 gallons per minute. Because there is no electric pump, the unit needs no outside power source and can be placed in remote or difficult locations.
What is an inert gas blanket and why does it matter?
Instead of venting to the atmosphere, SquareCell stores product under a layer of inert gas. This keeps air, moisture, and contaminants out, reduces evaporation and condensation, and virtually eliminates escaping vent gases from hazardous liquids.
What does 110% secondary containment mean?
The outer wall of SquareCell can hold 110% of the inner tank's capacity. If the inner tank leaks, the fluid stays inside the fully enclosed, double-walled unit rather than reaching the ground, water, or wildlife.
